e² studio

Overview

The e² studio is an Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) for Renesas MCUs. In addition to Eclipse’s own powerful code editor, the e² studio offers a rich range of extended functions. The e² studio covers all development processes, from the downloading of sample code to debugging.

New release: e² studio V7.5.0

The e² studio now supports development with Amazon FreeRTOS, so can be used in developing IoT devices to work with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

You can choose a compiler from Renesas or our partner vendors when building.

An emulator from Renesas (such as the E2 or E2 Lite) or from our partner vendors can be used for debugging.

Easily Create Projects and Code Especially for Renesas MCUs.

e² studio includes a project generator to speed up the initial project set up. Developers can select devices, initial compiler options and debuggers. e² studio will then prepare a preconfigured project with all the necessary support files such as device specific headers. The project is now ready for build and debug.

High Expandability as an Eclipse-Based IDE

The e² studio consists of the open-source Eclipse integrated environment framework, CDT plug-in, and various plug-ins from Renesas and our partner vendors. This structure makes it easy to add or update compilers and plug-ins, making the e² studio a highly multi-functional and expandable IDE.

In addition to the tool plug-ins from Renesas and our partner vendors related to building, coding, and debugging, many open-source plug-ins, some of which you may find handy, are available for use in development.

For details, refer to the documents for the Eclipse platform and CDT plug-in on the Eclipse Web site (https://www.eclipse.org/).

Renesas is also making an expanding range of tools, such as QEs (Quick and Effective Tool Solutions), available for installation as plug-ins.
